| - Came here to check out the renovated patio - which I actually didn't even know it exist. The patio is beautifully designed with its use of wood - gave this zen ambiance to the place. Seats on the patio are first come first serve, no reservations are allowed. As expected, service was impeccable
-sashimi sampler: ikura, Tai Sea Bream, Salmon, Wagyu, Chutoro
everything was as fresh as could be. All three types of fish - chutoro; tai seabream; salmon were sweet and so buttery - especially the chutoro where it just melted in your mouth. The slight torch on the sea bream added a hint of smokiness and the ikura just popped as I chewed.
- appetizer plate: Ebi Nanban, Ika Karamari, Tai kama, miso soup
Beautifully presented platter with a whole head of the sea bream. The lobster miso soup was packed with lobster essence, and the broth was clear and incredibly light. The ebi nanban (shrimp) and Ika Karamari (calamari) had a light breading with a tart sauce on the side. The tai kama - grilled sea bream was tender and mildly seasoned to showcase its natural flavor. I wasn't Asian enough so I didn't eat the fish eye lol..
-Sushi platter:Jabistroll, tiger shrimp, mackerel, salmon with jalapeno, lobster with ikura, chutoro, kanpachi/amberjack with yuzu
Each of the pressed sushi were lightly seared with a blowtorch as well and each piece were topped with different toppings for a distinctive taste. The uni in the signature JaBistro Roll gave it a nice creaminess and the lightly torched mayo on top is simply an explosion of flavors.
-dessert: Vanilla ice cream, matcha mousse cake
cake was delightful and well balanced with multiple layers of texture. The base was crunchy with bits of corn flakes on the side, while the mousse itself were incredible smooth. The ice cream had a hint of vanilla that was not too sweet either
